Rosamund Pike & Daniel Brühl in Trailer for Thriller ‘7 Days In Entebbe’

"We stop at nothing until all the hostages are safe." Focus Features has unveiled the first official trailer for a thriller titled 7 Days In Entebbe (in the UK it’s actually titled simply Entebbe), based on the true story of a hijacking of an Air France flight in 1976. The plane was taken over by hijackers when en route from Tel Aviv to Paris, then forced to land in Entebbe, Uganda in an effort to free of dozens of Palestinians jailed in Israel. The film also shows the "most daring rescue mission ever attempted." The cast includes Rosamund Pike, Daniel Brühl, Eddie Marsan, Ben Schnetzer, Lior Ashkenazi, and Denis Ménochet. This is a very impressive trailer, the footage looks great, the 70’s music is perfect. And holy crap, is Rosamund Pike playing one of the hijackers?! Crazy cool. I’m actually really looking forward to seeing this now. Take a look.
